Definately understandable. It just doesn't seem that cost effective of a mod for the price for such a minimal gain. You know what I mean?

You also have to account for the other features an ECUtek tune would offer. Valet mode, launch control, multiple maps for different octanes. I plan on getting one eventually. Going to do tune and HFCs all at once.

I think most would like to go forced induction on the Z, just a very pricey endeavor. I meant my prior 2 cars were turbo from the factory, much easier to mod.

LMAo!!! You're not kidding. I boosted my old scion tc for under $6k and that's using quality parts, and purchasing 2 turbos and 2 different setups

the car just drives so much smoother and the throttle response improvement is totally worth it. If I had to do it again, an Ecutek tune would be my second mod after the RJM clutch pedal

I got about 10 WHP after an ECUTEK tune. Quote:
I almost want to get the RJM but I'm fine with the stock. for now with the helper removal. personally speaking with intakes/exhaust and then the 2 days I got to drive with the tune... it's totally worth it. throttle response was quicker. cleaned up the ratio's (better for the long run) and makes a slightly more aggressive sound from before. do not tune until you are done modding... if you're going to get FI in the next 1 year then wait. I'm in the boat of wanting to get some TT's but $$ and then the extra upkeep is not within my budget right now. |
